Mutual equality in a relationship, the perfect tool to achieve harmony One of man's first actions is to be sexist; this action has been supported by women for centuries and is still present today. Despite many evolutions in humans, there are still sexist actions at work, in religion and in society in general as “students are enlightened enough to care about how gender constructions and gender relations negatively impact the status of women at the global". Research indicates that women began to respond to this problem around the 1970s, when they sparked several feminist revolutions in the United States. For example, it was not until 1920, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, that women had the full right to vote and many rights were established in their favor, although the dominance of men in society was still intact. Looking around, we can say that women no longer behave like they did years ago. Nowadays, women respond to men's sexist and immature attitudes by trying to defend themselves. Women stopped being oppressed by men to become independent women. In Thelma and Louise, director Ridley Scott uses defensive nationalism, focusing on women's attitudes in the present day, a clear reflection of women's reaction against oppression. Through scapegoating, we can observe the dominance that Darryl exerts towards his wife Thelma, reflecting a lack of harmony and equality in this couple's relationship; at the same time you can see throughout the film the symbol of the friendship between Thelma and Louise, that despite everything they have been through, both women have decided to stay together until the end of their lives. In Thelma and Louise, it can clearly be... in the center of the paper... a calm atmosphere in which the ideas of both can share in reaching a mutual agreement without resorting to physical or mental aggression.
